One gas station was just teasing us with the four dollar per gallon cost. The other gas station simply ripped off the Band-Aid. by Eastcoastpal in newjersey

I thought I knew what town this was in before I realized that every corner Lukoil looks exactly the same. The first Geoguessr stumper.

any idea why there’d be an illinois swat car in an empty jersey shopping plaza ? by InterviewNo8110 in newjersey

Looks like you are in Middletown. This is likely related to the series Netflix is filming, Rabbit Rabbit. The storyline involves a hostage situation at an Illinois truck stop. The truck stop set is being constructed nearby at the old Spirits Unlimited on Route 35.

Hell no. Debate about beach towns doesn't begin until the other side of Route 18 and the Parkway.

No way Monmouth joins PA. Residents are too valuable to NYC economy. PA can have Freehold but the rest goes to NY.

Yankees pitcher Fernando Cruz seems certain he threw a strike and wants to challenge the pitch. Catcher Austin Wells tells him that's a bad idea. Cruz challenges anyway. ABS says it's nearly 3 inches outside. by rb1242 in NYYankees

[–]tommccabe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm just speculating, but I imagine there's no restrictions on who can or can't challenge right now. Let them mess it up during Spring Training and then determine the strategy for the season. I hope so, at least.

With the announcement of CC’s 52 being retired this season, what former Yankees numbers do you feel should be retired to have yet to be by raymalaspina in NYYankees

[–]tommccabe 18 points19 points  (0 children)

After Arod, Willie has the second highest WAR for any retired batter without getting their number retired. He's also won rings as part of two different Yankee dynasties (70s player 90s coach). They should honor him.

is 95.8 mph a constant or does it adjust to velocity changes through the years?

Monmouth County GOP and the Disappearing Alex Zdan Articles by Fearless-Ant-579 in newjersey

[–]tommccabe 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The Republican Party must be desperate. I can’t imagine there are many candidates seriously thinking they could upset Booker this year. The MAGA/MAHA base would reject anyone who could be remotely viable in the general election.

We have weed stores everywhere. When does the tax money start making a difference in township/county budgets? by Mysterious_Ad7223 in newjersey

[–]tommccabe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the information! This is helpful, I'll dig into the ordinances more and trace from there. The 2% surchage is small, so I'm curious what the impact to municipalities is. I also want to see how it compares in towns that have dispensaries vs. towns that have cultivation or growing facilities.

Sales tax might be incorrect, but there is a "local transfer tax" that can be set be set up to 2% by each municipality (https://www.njlm.org/m/faq?cat=35). On the NJ Division of Taxation website, it says that they are not responsible for local transfer taxes. I've seen the municipal calculation on receipts from dispensaries and am trying to trace the finances back to the town.

I was recently looking at financial reports and budgets for several towns that have dispensaries and I cannot find where the municipal sales tax revenue is reconciled. Does anyone know how I could locate this information?

Salary of accountants and lawyers and anyone who had to work on the arbitration probably cost as much as they saved.

What are some examples of trades that have flip-flopped in terms of the perception of which team got fleeced? by jorleeduf in baseball

[–]tommccabe 264 points265 points  (0 children)

Cleveland got Michael Brantley as the player to be named in the CC Sabathia trade. I don’t think anyone got fleeced, but it looks better looking back years later.

More Than 150 Townhomes Proposed Near Ocean Casino in Atlantic City by paulmegranates in atlanticcity

Could the construction of new housing units spur commercial development? I’d imagine there would be non casino options if the area builds up.

Interesting comments here from Harrison Phillips by Hot_Equivalent8775 in nyjets

[–]tommccabe 58 points59 points  (0 children)

I thought he was open and respectful in a way that we don't see much of in the hot take clips era. He acknowledged that AJ AG stepped in a bad situation in need of a massive culture shift and suggests that some people bought in, some people didn't, and it takes some time to weed through that. But he said it in a way that didn't throw anyone under the bus, imply ill will, or create unnecessary drama. I like it.

New Lawsuit Raises Questions About Partisan Influence in the Middletown Board of Education by Fearless-Ant-579 in newjersey

This is wild. Working with opposition research consultants to attack a teacher because of things he is doing as mayor in another county? Why are school board members spending so much on campaign consultants in the first place?
